A Chicopee man faces charges including drunken driving and speeding after State Police said he was found naked while behind the wheel of a pickup truck on Interstate 91 Tuesday.

Alexander Shanwenda, 24, of Chicopee, was arrested on I-91 southbound after reaching a speed of 105 miles per hour in a 45 mile-per-hour construction zone in Whately, police said.

The State Police Northampton Barracks initially reported that a black 2005 Ford pickup with Massachusetts registration was driving erratically and speeding on the highway Tuesday evening. The vehicle was soon spotted by a trooper when it changed lanes without signaling and nearly hit a box truck, according to State Police.
